"Thank you to the 3 people who answered my post, appreciate it. Even though I love a heart rate in the 60's, it has to be from the few drinks I had as my resting HR is in the 80's. Too bad it can't stay in the 80's without medication! T..."

"Lately, I have noticed that when I have a glass of wine, or two, or three, while taking Nadolol, my blood pressure and heart rate numbers are much lower than they normally are. Does anyone have experience with this medication and having..."

How have you been? I've been encouraged by my weight loss over the past 30 days. I've lost a total of 7.2 pounds. I'm still having problems with anxiety and not wanting to go anywhere but i am setting goals for going out several times a week and sticking to it. Tomorrow is my day for going out! wish me luck, LOL. I hope you're doing ok. Anna

I didn't go anywhere yesterday. Was suppose to go to the chiro and meet a friend afterward but I just couldn't bring myself to go. I cancelled both. However I did reschedule the chiro appt for today and I WILL GO, lol. I really don't want to though. I've got butterflies in my tummy and have already been to the bathroom 4 times. Hopefully both will settle down before it's time for me to leave. I've got 2.5 hrs yet. It's too bad I my chiropractor doesn't do home visits, LOL. He is a Godsend and I have would NO life without him! With his help I can at least get rid of 50% of my aches & pains. Hope you have a better day today!

I know what you mean about actually LIKING to stay inside! I do prefer staying home. I have worked since I was 13 and went to school full time. I was always on the go 24/7. and now that I can afford to stay home and not work I actually prefer it over going out with friends (what friends I have left!). I have been off work 3 yrs and this agoraphobic behavior has just started within the past yr. I don't mind it at the stage it's in as I can still manage it. I do fear it getting worse as I know it will eventually. However my dislike of drs is greater than my fear of getting full blown agorophobia! when it gets to the point I can't control it, I will start thinking about getting help.

I seen your post about agoraphobia and just wanted to let you know...I have the very same exact symptoms! I recently posted a question about it too. I'm new to this site so I'm not sure but I think if you go to my page you will see the question there. The people who responded to yours, also responded to mine and they made a lot of sence and really helped me out. I am taking their advice and going out and trying to do more instead of limiting myself to just a few 'friendly' places I always go. I'm not sure how it's working yet but I'll keep it up until I either can't or it goes away (and I highly doubt it will just go away because I'm making myself go out but I will try). anywho..just thought I would pop in to say high and let you know your not alone.
